You typin' from the unemployment line?
PBR

Hate to disappoint you, but my job is still safe.

 

[lowlycfi]

Jeez you two, get a room.

 

[ToiletDuck]

You're saying: pilots' pay singularly determines the fate of the company.

News flash: you're wrong.

Pouring MILLIONS into a failed business venture, branded, is why they are now coming crying for pay cuts.

Or the new contract CAL made them sign.

 

[ToiletDuck]

Yes, I would rather lose my job to maintain a good standard of living than dumb my wages down to just have the job.

How good is your standard of living without a job? Most idiotic post ever. Ever pilot that flies for the major has taken concessions to help their company and to secure their jobs, as much as possible, yet for some reason you think you're different? I laugh at your ignorance.

 

[Hypoxik]

The original CPA and the one CAL would have given SKW ended with CAL still controlling every single a/c.

Now XJT will have the control, per the new CPA.
When that 7 years is over we can choose as we please what to do with them.

Remember XJT was a spin off yet CAL still had control of the biggest assets we have...a/c.

Now we do.

And that does what? XJT still doesn't own them and still has to pay lease on them. CAL still got you guys to underbid everyone. Branded is closing, 500+ furloughed, JR got put in his place, and stock is 1/18th of what it was a year ago... But you've got the A/C. Or you think you do. XJT still doesn't own them.

And those pilots were wrong to do so. I would rather watch my company cease to exist than give them one red cent from my paycheck. I don't pay for fuel.

 

[veneratio]

Honestly, I think there will be no concessions from the pilot group!!!

...and it is that attitude that puts thousands of non-pilot employees...people who are barely getting by as it is...out of a job.

If it goes down that way at AirTran...may you DIAF. I have too many close friends at AirTran that can't afford to lose their jobs because of the old school "it's all about me" attitude.

I support them when they're fighting for a fair contract, so I expect the same from them in return. I don't want to see anyone take concessions or lose their jobs.

You'd rather there be tens of thousands of pilots on the street with no jobs, tons of debt, and mouths to feed rather than take a cut? Sorry but this isn't your company making money hand over fist trying to screw you like in the past few years. This is your company trying to stay afloat. You keep that attitude up you'll end up with jack sh!t in life.

Pilot paycuts have never saved a company, and they never will. You've bought into management's bulls---. Pathetic.

yeah, so why don't you take a 65% paycut yourself if you're such a sympathetic company man?

If you were earning $109,000 as a captain and it goes to $31,000 - that'd be okay with you, right? After all - you're saving the company!

Agreed, pay is lower now than ever before. There is no room for further pay cuts. Complete BS to except anything lower.

 

[3blade]

There was no room for 145$ barell oil either.
